Vislink receives big camera system order from China

Said to be worth around US$1 million, the order is part of global pre-orders exceeding over $2.5 million received by Vislink for its latest wireless camera technology.

“This HCAM pre-order further emphasises market confidence in Vislink leading the development of next-generation wireless camera systems,” said James Walton, president of IMT and head of all IMT and Vislink business operations outside of the Americas.

The company added that the Vislink HCAM, which was unveiled at NAB 2017 in April, represents the next generation of HEVC 4K UHD wireless transmitters capable of supporting premium live broadcast events.

These orders, which were placed by a key Vislink value-added reseller in the region, are for multiple systems and represent the latest in Vislink’s long history of supplying equipment to the China market which dates back 15 years. The delivery of all systems is expected to take place by the end of this year.

The HCAM systems will be at the forefront of a migration from existing H.264 technology to HEVC and low-latency 4K/UHD for wireless camera systems expected to take place in China, Vislink said.
